WARM THE BED, LIGHT THE LIGHT


Warm the bed, light the light,

I’ll be with you come tonight.

It’s so hard being away, all alone.

Don’t be bashful, don’t be shy,

Just please tell me, I’m your guy.

That’s why I’ve called you on the phone.



Pull the shade, unlock the door.

I just need you so much more.

Shadows bounce off the walls from the moon.

In an hour, maybe two,

I’ll be at home, just loving you.

We’ll be together very soon.



CHORUS

When the moonlight flows down on the meadows

And the night and the darkness start their fall,

When the day’s brightness turns to shadows

That’s when that I need you most of all.



Hear my footsteps on the stairs

Feel your love dissolve my cares.

As I drive your reflection is in the rain.

Through the fog and the chill,

Your sweet love sustains my will,

It’s your love that gets me through this pain.



I’ll sit down, shake off the gloom,

As the candles, warm the room

And our love caresses both our souls.

When your arms welcome me home,

I know I never want to roam,

And I know that your love is my true goal.



CHORUS

When the moonlight flows down on the meadows

And the night and the darkness start their fall,

When the day’s brightness turns to shadows

That’s when that I need you most of all.

Not bad at all. Actually, quite good

Thank you. That seems to be the consensus with one exception. One guy said it didn't get into the reaction enough. If I can ever get the melody down onto music paper, I'll provide it through an attachment

boatbob2

change the second line to read,"I will come with you tonite" great song though. I would love to hear it,once you write the music for it

Thanks for the input but I think your suggestion is too sexual for what I am trying to project. I will try to transmit the music once I get it down onto music paper. I have the Sibelius One - 7 system for notemaking and will try to send it to you.

I didn't mean for it to sound sexual,I just thought the wording was a little better, but,I loved the poem ( song,without music)
